My guess? Some manager said "let's just stream everything". Lucid should be more forthcoming about some things. They could tell us what features are planned and if SiriusXM was left out for a reason or will be in a software release or that they just screwed up and didn't think it was needed.
I agree, but I'm also fortunate to live in SoCal where cell service is abundant and all the road trips I normally take are also littered with cell towers.
I listen to SiriusXM in my car and on my phone. The satellite signal does drop in places but seems more consistent than cell network data. With Android Auto it's easy to stream SiriusXM also. I agree with "But if Lucid's designers were thinking like I was, there's your answer." so just tell us.
Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me, but I'm just wondering why @ctonylee said he was considering installing an aftermarket SiriusXM setup, but was advised by a Lucid employee "not to do that," that the lack of SiriusXM was "the number one complaint," that that a SirusXM app would be "in the next OTA update." But, who knows, maybe the Lucid employee doesn't know the difference between cellular and satellite service!
Right now, I would be happy just to be able to use the thumb drives that I have with music on them! I have moved some tracks to my phone but I don't have room for all.
You can plug a thumb drive into your phone then stream that music over bluetooth via the phone via thumbdrive
They probably don't. If people are screaming for SiriusXM and an employee sees it on the list then for them it's "problem solved". They don't think about how it works on the backend and just see that it's coming not realizing that satellite and cellular will provide 2 very different experiences
Or, Lucid could just support music through the USB port like every other car that we have.
Well yea but aren't we all about finding workarounds on this forum? Hahah
Right now I use an FM modulator. The FM direct method would be nicer because it interrupts the FM signal path and prevents interference – this requires the removal of some headliner, so I'm not attempting that now. I may also need some adapters too, but won't know until I see the FM antenna connection.
took the time to count the number of work arounds people have come up with in order to get basic functionality on our $140-$180 k Lucid vehicles. I bet we would be surprised by the number.
0, the number is 0. That's because aren't working around anything and the car is perfect and what we are doing is going against the the design of the vehicle.It would be interesting if someone (not me
Good point. I was considering aftermarket because I had no idea when the app would be available. After a few days with the car, TuneIn, Tidal, etc. I rarely get a drop outs. Coverage here in Southern California seems pretty robust. I am a long time Sirius customer, but would rather not tear up my car if I don't have to.
Same..... I've been a long time SiriusXM subscriber and haven't missed it at all. I spend most my time using Tunein with a mix or Tidal and Spotify for everything else.
Wow, I wish I had your car! Mine is still a work in progress, albeit a very fast one!
Agree, we all wish we had hydbob's car. Mine is in Chicago getting multiple issues fixed.Wow, I wish I had your car! Mine is still a work in progress, albeit a very fast one!
WOW, not a contest that I want to win!!
